/**
 * Taxonomy of Categories.
 *
 * 

Facets are defined using a hierarchy of categories, known as a Taxonomy. For example, * the taxonomy of a book store application might have the following structure: * *

    *
  • Author *
      *
    • Mark Twain *
    • J. K. Rowling *
    *
* *
    *
  • Date *
      *
    • 2010 *
    *
      *
    • March *
    • April *
    *
  • 2009 *
* *

The Taxonomy translates category-paths into integer identifiers (often termed * ordinals) and vice versa. The category Author/Mark Twain adds two nodes to * the taxonomy: Author and Author/Mark Twain, each is assigned a * different ordinal. The taxonomy maintains the invariant that a node always has an ordinal that is * < all its children. */ package org.apache.lucene.facet.taxonomy;
